Recent advancements in machine learning (ML), including deep learning and natural language processing, have shown potential in refining the interpretation of stress testing data. Adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we conducted a systematic review of...
This means multiple responses to the stress tests must be considered and integrated into the physician’s interpretation of the stress test. Pharmacologic Stress Tests Some patients are physically incapable of exercising on a treadmill. Pharmacologic agents have been utilized to simulate some aspects of...
While CoDE-ACS may enable a more flexible approach to the interpretation of cardiac troponin results and therefore, the correct triage of patients in practice, we continue to advocate the use of a sex-specific 99th percentile as the diagnostic threshold for myocardial infarction. Indeed, this thre...
The model relies on the combined predictive potential of the clinical features, stress test data, and direct image analysis, similarly to the way clinicians try to integrate all available information to provide the most accurate study interpretation. Moreover, this approach also leverages time-to-...
All women had negative urine pregnancy test results on the day of the study. Electrocardiogram electrodes were placed on the chest, and the participants then rested undisturbed for 10 minutes. The electrocardiogram was then recorded for 5 minutes during quiet rest and during 5 minutes of controlled...
The implications for the design of interventions to reduce the negative effects of work stress would be quite different if the stress was due to the tasks undertaken than if it was due to cognitions about the work: the first interpretation would require the work to be changed, whereas the ...
The trial protocol, statistical analysis plan, and results interpretation were reviewed and approved by the steering committee independently of the sponsor. Trial conduct was governed by the study protocol and overseen by an independent data and safety monitoring board and the PRECISE steering committee...
Combination testing for both hs-cTn might be an option to improve risk prediction in stable populations but will inevitably increase the complexity of result interpretation and is for this reason not recommended. This is at difference to acutely diseased patients in whom the hs-cTnI/T ratio ...
Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure of sampling adequacy and the Bartlett test of sphericity. Criteria for suitability are Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin 0.8 and ap-value for Bartlett’s χ2 of less than 0.01. A scree plot was also inspected. Interpretation of EFA solutions involved the assessment of the meaning...
Undoubtedly, an understanding of the differences in troponin assays is crucial to guide the design of studies, interpretation of results and improvement in their clinical use. We found the distribution of serum troponin levels remain non-Gaussian and skewed to the right. This finding has been ...
